EXHIBIT D
RENEWAL OPTION
     PLANO ATRIUM, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and PRIORITY FULFILLMENT SERVICES, INC. (“Tenant”), entered into that certain Tenth Amendment to Office Lease (the “Amendment”) dated as of August ___, 2006, for the lease of certain space at Atrium at Collin Ridge located in Plano County, Texas. This Exhibit D (this “Exhibit”) is attached to the Amendment. Except to the extent otherwise indicated herein, the initially capitalized terms used in this Exhibit shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Amendment. Landlord and Tenant mutually agree as follows:
     1. Tenant shall have the right to renew and extend the Lease Term with respect to the Premises then subject to the Lease for the Extension Term (as hereinafter defined) upon and subject to the following terms and conditions.
     2. Tenant shall have two (2) options (the “Renewal Option”) to extend the Lease Term beyond the 2007 Renewal Term Expiration Date (such date and the last day of each Extension Term, if any, being herein referred to as a “Scheduled Expiration Date”) for a period (the “Extension Term”) of five (5) years, commencing upon the then-current Scheduled Expiration Date upon the same terms and conditions previously applicable, except for the grant of the exercised Renewal Option and the amount of Base Rental payable under the Lease (which amount shall be determined as set forth below). Not earlier than twelve (12) months or later than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the 2007 Renewal Term, Tenant shall have the right to deliver to Landlord written notice (a “Notice of Intent to Renew”) of Tenant’s intent to extend the 2007 Renewal Term on the terms and conditions set forth herein. In such event, Landlord shall, within ninety (90) days after its receipt of a Notice of Intent to Renew, notify Tenant in writing of the Fair Market Value Rate (as defined in Paragraph 5 below) as determined by Landlord for Premises during the Extension Term (such determination is herein referred to as the (“Landlord’s Assessment”). Landlord’s Assessment shall reflect the fact that Landlord will provide to Tenant in connection with Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option a refurbishment allowance (the “Refurbishment Allowance”) in an amount equal to $7.00 per usable square foot of space then comprising the Premises. Tenant shall have the right, within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of written notice of the Landlord’s Assessment, to either (i) accept in writing such Landlord’s Assessment and exercise the Renewal Option (the “Notice of Exercise”), or (ii) reject such Landlord’s Assessment but nevertheless elect to exercise the applicable Renewal Option by, in either instance, delivering written notice thereof to Landlord within such fifteen (15) day period; provided, however, that the Renewal Option may be validly exercised only if no uncured Tenant default exists as of the date of exercise. If Tenant timely delivers to Landlord written notice that Tenant is exercising the Renewal Option but that Tenant does not accept Landlord’s Assessment (“Tenant’s Objection Notice”), the Fair Market Value Rate shall be determined as provided in Paragraph 6 below. Tenant’s Objection Notice must identify Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Value Rate (“Tenant’s Assessment”) to trigger the appraisal process set forth in Paragraph 6 below.
     3. If Tenant does not either timely (i) accept Landlord’s Assessment, or (ii) deliver to Landlord Tenant’s Objection Notice, Tenant will be deemed to have elected to not exercise the Renewal Option. In no event shall Landlord have any obligation to provide Tenant with the Refurbishment Allowance in the event Tenant elects not to exercise of the renewal option or is deemed to have elected not to exercise the Renewal Option. The Extension Term shall commence immediately upon the expiration of the 2007 Renewal Term, and upon Tenant’s exercise of the renewal option set forth in this Exhibit, the date of expiration of the 2007 Renewal Term shall automatically become the last day of the Extension Term.
     4. The exercise by Tenant of the Renewal Option must be made, if at all, by written notice, (i.e., the Notice of Exercise or Tenant’s Objection Notice, as applicable) executed by Tenant and delivered to Landlord within the fifteen (15) day period set forth in preceding paragraph. Once Tenant shall exercise the Renewal Option, Tenant may not thereafter revoke such exercise. Tenant’s failure, for any reason whatsoever, to exercise the Renewal Option in

 


 

strict accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit shall conclusively be deemed a waiver of the same.
     5. Base Rental for the Extension Term shall be equal to 100% of either (y) the product of the Landlord’s Assessment received by Tenant prior to Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option multiplied by the number of rentable square feet of space then comprising the Premises if Tenant has accepted such Landlord’s Assessment, or (z) if Tenant has timely delivered to Landlord Tenant’s Objection Notice in which Tenant’s Assessments has been identified, the product of the Fair Market Value Rate determined as provided in Paragraph 6 below multiplied by the number of rentable square feet of space comprising the Premises. As used herein, the term “Fair Market Value Rate” shall mean the base rent payable during the applicable lease period to a willing landlord by a willing tenant (neither having a compulsion to lease and Landlord having sufficient time to locate a replacement tenant), for the lease of non-sublease, non equity and renewal space in an office building comparable in quality to the Building, which space is of like size to the Premises, of like and comparable quality to the Premises, and which comparable office building is located in the Richardson/ Plano Telecom Corridor (as hereinafter defined), taking into consideration the terms of the Lease (including, without limitation, the available parking being make available to Tenant) and, as applicable, the following: (1) the location and floor level within the Building; (2) the condition of the existing improvements in the Premises and the premises covered by such renewed leases; (3) parking charges or the inclusion of the same in rental; (4) the extent of services to be provided by Landlord to Tenant and such renewal tenants; (5) the base year or dollar amount, if any, for escalation purposes; (6) credit rating and financial condition and stature of such renewal tenants as of the date of the exercise of the applicable lease renewal, and the credit rating and financial condition and stature of Tenant as of the date of the Landlord’s Assessment; (7) the length of the lease renewal; (8) whether any broker’s commission is payable; (9) the date on which the Extension Term will commence; and (10) any other appropriate term or condition. Notwithstanding and foregoing, in calculating the Fair Market Value Rate, no consideration shall be given to (i) any period of rental abatement, if any, granted to tenants in comparable property, and (ii) any portion of leasehold improvement allowances in excess of the Refurbishment Allowance. As used herein, the term “Richardson/Plano Telecom Corridor” shall mean the area located within portions of the Cities of Richardson and Plano, Texas generally recognized by real estate professionals as the “Telecom Corridor”.
     6. If Tenant timely delivers to Landlord Tenant’s Objection Notice in which Tenant’s Assessment has been identified, Landlord shall have the right to accept Tenant’s Assessment, by giving Tenant written notice thereof within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Objection Notice. If Landlord chooses not to accept Tenant’s Assessment, then Landlord and Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of such ten (10) business day period, jointly appoint an independent real estate broker or other person with at least ten (10) years’ commercial real estate experience in Dallas, Texas (an “Appraiser”) to determine the Fair Market Value Rate. If the parties as unable to agree upon an Appraiser within such fifteen (15) day period, either party may request that the Dallas office of the American Arbitration Association designate within ten (10) days of such request, a broker with at least ten (10) years’ commercial real estate experience in Dallas, Texas to be the Appraiser for the purposes of this subparagraph; provided, however in no event shall such designated Appraiser be employed, or have been employed, by either Landlord or Tenant or their respective affiliates; and provided further, however, that such broker must also have experience with lease transactions in the Richardson/ Plano Telecom Corridor. Such designation shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. Within ten (10) business days after the selection of an Appraiser, each of Landlord and Tenant shall submit to the Appraiser such party’s assessment of the Fair Market Value Rate (revised, if applicable, from any earlier assessment), together with such supporting data used to make such assessment (each such assessment is herein referred to as an “Assessment”). Within fifteen (15) days after the Appraiser’s receipt Landlord’s and Tenant’s respective Assessments of the Fair Market Value Rate and the aforementioned supporting data, the Appraiser shall determine his or her assessment of the Fair Market Value Rate for the Extension Term and shall provide Landlord and Tenant with written notice thereof together with such supporting data used to make such assessment). The Fair Market Value Rate for the Extension Term shall be the Assessment of either Landlord or Tenant which is closest to the Appraiser’s assessment of the Fair Market Value Rate; provided, however, if either Landlord or Tenant fails within such ten (10) business day period to supply the Appraiser with such party’s assessment of the Fair Market Value Rate and/or the applicable supporting data, then the Fair

 


 

Market Value Rate for the Extension Term shall be the Fair Market Value Rate submitted to the Appraiser by the party that has submitted to the Appraiser its assessment of the Fair Market Value Rate and the applicable supporting data. The entire cost for the Appraiser’s services shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant.
     7. Except as set forth in this Exhibit, the leasing of the Premises for the Extension Term shall be upon the same terms and conditions as are applicable for the Premises under the Lease for the term thereof as extended by the Amendment, and shall be upon and subject to all of the provisions of the Lease and the Amendment. Additionally, the Refurbishment Allowance will paid to Tenant in the same manner as the refurbishment allowances described in the third paragraph of the Rider No. 102 attached to the Lease and will only be used for the same work described in such paragraph. Any portion of the Refurbishment Allowance not used by Tenant on or before the twelfth (12th) full calendar month of the Extension Term will be forfeited by Tenant and Landlord shall have no further obligation to disburse the same to Tenant notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this exhibit.
     8. Once Fair Market Value Rate for the Extension Term has been established following a valid exercise by Tenant of the Renewal Option, Landlord and Tenant will, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, enter into an amendment (the “Lease Amendment”) to the Lease reflecting (i) the extension of the 2007 Renewal Term, (ii) any change in Base Rental payable by Tenant as provided by this Exhibit, (iii) any change in the Base Year operation expenses, and (iv) such other amendments to the Lease as are necessary. Notwithstanding Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligation to execute and deliver the Lease Amendment within the time period provided above, Tenant’s leasing of the Premises during the Extension Term is not conditioned on any such execution and delivery as the Lease Amendment is being executed merely to memorialize the terms and conditions of Tenant’s leasing of the Premises during the Extension Term pursuant to this Exhibit after Landlord’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise or Tenant’s Objection Notice, as applicable.
     9. Tenant’s rights under this Exhibit shall terminate following the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) Tenant’s right to possess all or any of the Premises is terminated; (b) Tenant assigns any of its interest in the Lease or sublets any portion of the Premises located on the 5th floor of the Building; and/or (c) any termination of the Lease.
